Time display as a camera channel - is it possible?

[Mario P]

Is there a way to display time as one of the camera channels?
Perhaps thru RTSP?
I don't have a clock easily visible in my office. What I do have is a large TV with 64 channels Dahua viewing 59 active cameras.
Which means, I'm staring at 5 empty, block boxes.
It would be nice to have one of the empty channels display time.

Speaking of which, have you guys ever displayed anything else on empty channel boxes? Time, weather, local traffic, stock tracker, news?

With Blue Iris VMS, yes.....but not with a NVR or a solo IP camera.

Can you point me to some directions, videos, etc? I do have BI, but have not played with display as it doesn't seem to format the window into something that would be neatly arranged for as TV mode.

In Blue Iris it's pretty simple. Doing this off the top of my head, so... (at least it points you in the right direction)
